Stuey and I went to his sister's wedding this weekend and hence have not had anytime to either work on our cosplay or blog Q__Q. I do, however, have some new pictures of Gachapin to share with you guys. This is basically a wig review.
Remember this wig? It's the wig I bought from
ebay for my Eruka cosplay. It was a very cheap wig ($24) and definitely lived up to its price. The wig itself was thin and tangled very easily. However, it works with Eruka because she wears a big hat that covers up the very thin part of the wig. Now, I have to somehow transform this sucker into Murumuru's hair.
I know for sure that the volume of this wig is not nearly enough and that it will be hard to make ponytails with one wig, so I ordered two LONG ponytails from
Arda wigs in silver to match my current wig.
As you can see, the pony tail I got is a little big lighter than the wig I have in this picture, but in reality, they are pretty darn close. The biggest difference is probably the quality of the ebay wig compared to Arda's. Well, there's no comparison. Arda's ponytail is not only silky, but also very easy to brush. The volume of the ponytail is amazingly full but also makes it super heavy. I might have to somehow dye the wig a little bit with a lavender colored sharpie...but we will see.
I definitely recommend ordering from Arda, however, they are a lot more expensive compared to the cheap ebay wigs. (The ponytails were about $20 a piece with shipping) I have also received my black rock shooter wig from Cosplaywigsusa, however, it's ponytails are not nearly as full as the ones from Arda. I also need to figure out something in order to add some blue highlights to my black wig...any suggestions?
